Gusau Upbeat Super Eagles Can Conquer Africa

“We have prepared the team with the objective of lifting the trophy. The FIFA World Cup miss still bites, but if we are able to win the Africa Cup of Nations, it will go a long way to assuaging the feelings of our fans at home and in the diaspora,” Gusau told thenff.com.
“It will also be good for the present generation of Super Eagles as they will have at least one major triumph to their name.”
Gusau On NFF Support
Gusau’s administration has done remarkably well to maintain the very best standards in travel, accommodation and other logistics for the team, despite challenging times and downturn in the global economy.
“It has not been easy, but we have to continue to appreciate and show that we value the contributions of the players and officials at all times. They have to travel and lodge in convenience, and that is something we must always find a way to work out despite the challenges that the Federation faces,” added Gusau.
“I have confidence in the coaches and the players that we have to turn the present gloom around and make Nigeria proud in Morocco.”

A great way to show that you value the contributions and efforts of our players is to PAY THEM THEIR BONUSRS AND OTHER PAYABLES IN A TIMELY MANNER.
Have you been doing that?
What about payment of the coach and his staff salaries?
It is only in Nigetia that this much corruption and incompetence is tolerated. How is this NFF board still in office? How is it that they are still employed? Up till now?
NFF ONIGBESE MUST GO!!!
You keep talking about challenging times. The fact that you keep saying their is no money is evidence against you that you’re not the right person for the job.
Not to mention failure upon calamitous failure.
No matter how hard times are, the right person knows where the money is and how to get it. Period. No excuses!
We are a country of over 200 million soccer crazy citizens. Obtaining adequate funds to run our national teams should never be a problem for the right people.
We desperately and urgently need to get the right people into the Glass House.
